Origin

Bushman Candle resin is harvested from the stems of Sarcocaulon mossamedense, a succulent native to arid regions of southern Africa. The resin exudes naturally from the plant and is collected by hand, often by local communities, then used in its raw or distilled form in perfumery.

Usage in Perfumery

Perfumers use Bushman Candle primarily as a base note for its fixative properties and deep, lingering warmth. It blends well with other resins, woods, and amber materials, and is valued for adding complexity and longevity to oriental, woody, and ambery compositions.
